Blending Western and Australian Aboriginal Approaches
Cancer treatments have failed to reach people who live in rural and remote Australia. Geographic constraints on service delivery are exacerbated for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who continue to be marginalised by a colonial legacy that drives disparities in access to healthcare. This is particularly evident in the remote communities of Bourke and Brewarrina which are home to significant Aboriginal populations. They are located 10…
Virtual elective placements for medical students during Covid‐19
In late 2020 with international electives for Australian students cancelled, three final year medical students from the University of Sydney turned their attention to unique clinical experiences available at their doorstep. For students in their final year, it is an opportunity to prepare for clinical practice by exploring different clinical environments and expanding their understanding of medicine in a global context. With the COVID-19 pandemic…
Social prescribing for older people and the role of the cultural sector during the Covid ‐19 pandemic
Older people's well-being can be bolstered by engaging with cultural activities and venues. They may be encouraged to try cultural offers by a link worker as part of social prescribing. However, the cultural sector, like all parts of life, was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic; this has had implications for cultural offers available to link workers. A study was conducted to explore the views and experiences of link workers in using the cultural s…
Importance of Culture in Alcohol Care
Integration of cultural knowledges and healing practices with Western medical approaches to alcohol care has been reported for residential and community settings. However, there is little evidence on how culture features in alcohol care in primary health settings. We analysed data from semi-structured interviews (from a broader study) with 17 First Nations Australian staff (n=8 men, n=9 women) from 11 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communi…
Making Live Music Count
In 2017 we conducted the first-ever nationwide live music census, allowing for unprecedented levels of detailed, comparable data on the live music cultures of different localities. Live music censuses have been increasingly used in recent years (e.g. Melbourne, Edinburgh, Bristol) to illustrate the value of music to policymakers. This has coincided with challenging times for urban live music venues, particularly small venues and clubs. We present…
Live Concert Performance
For the last decade we have been engaged in the study of the history, economics, and sociology of live music in Britain. In this article we will consider the value of “ecology” as an analytic concept (rather than just a buzzword) and compare an ecological account of the setting in which music happens to the use of previous spatial metaphors, from Durkheim’s milieus to Straw’s scenes. To illustrate our argument, we present case studies of three Sc…
One More Tune!” The Encore Ritual in Live Music Events
The encore ritual at live music events is a ubiquitous yet under-researched phenomenon. Drawing on ethnographic research carried out in Glasgow, Sheffield, and Bristol, this paper deconstructs the encore ritual as it is enacted by performer and audience, and highlights the covert yet vital complicity of the promoter/venue. It argues that, while the encore began as a spontaneous display of audience enthusiasm, it has now become an expected and rit…
Problems, Disputes, Questions
Hosted by The University of Glasgow’s Music Department, the biennial IASPM UK & Ireland Conference, entitled ‘Problems, Disputes, Questions’, took place on 12–14 September 2008. The aim was to explore issues that have in recent years concerned and provoked discussion among IASPM members, with the three main themes of the conference being Music and National Identity, Popular Music Theory, and The Musical Experience
